I don't need much height in the rings as the Farrell base provides enough for my 40mm scope. I'm currently using Burris low Zee rings and they allow just enough room for the Butler Creek cap and a silicone wipe. I have been looking at the Leupold PRW rings. They may be a nice inexpensive set for those wanting a four screw cap without going to a full blown tactical type of ring. I was talking with the folks at Volquartsen today about some parts for my 10/22 and they mentioned their tactical rings. Didn't even know they made them. Look very nice with a deep channel and heavy cross pins. Here's a link to that page: [url="http://www.volquartsen.com/product.asp?pid=122"]www.volquartsen.com/product.asp?pid=122[/url] I have a lot of Volquartsen products and have never been disappointed in the quality. I may try a set of these just to be different! [/QUOTE]
